Is there any standard way tkinter apps allow the user to choose a date?

tkcalendar is a python module that provides the Calendar and DateEntry widgets for Tkinter. The DateEntry widget is similar to a Combobox, but the drop-down is not a list but a Calendar to select a date. Events can be displayed in the Calendar with custom colors and a tooltip displays the event list for a given day.
mainloop() tells Python to run the Tkinter event loop. This method listens for events, such as button clicks or keypresses, and blocks any code that comes after it from running until you close the window where you called the method.
In case anyone still needs this - here's a simple code to create a Calendar and DateEntry widget using tkcalendar package.
pip install tkcalendar(for installing the package)
try: import tkinter as tk from tkinter import ttk except ImportError: import Tkinter as tk import ttk from tkcalendar import Calendar, DateEntry def example1(): def print_sel(): print(cal.selection_get()) top = tk.Toplevel(root) cal = Calendar(top, font="Arial 14", selectmode='day', cursor="hand1", year=2018, month=2, day=5) cal.pack(fill="both", expand=True) ttk.Button(top, text="ok", command=print_sel).pack() def example2(): top = tk.Toplevel(root) ttk.Label(top, text='Choose date').pack(padx=10, pady=10) cal = DateEntry(top, width=12, background='darkblue', foreground='white', borderwidth=2) cal.pack(padx=10, pady=10) root = tk.Tk() s = ttk.Style(root) s.theme_use('clam') ttk.Button(root, text='Calendar', command=example1).pack(padx=10, pady=10) ttk.Button(root, text='DateEntry', command=example2).pack(padx=10, pady=10) root.mainloop() If you love us?
